Bright Computing Selected for Spacecraft Simulation Cluster

This week Bright Computing announced that Brazil’s prestigious National Institute for Space Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais – INPE) chose Bright Cluster Manager to manage computing clusters used for simulating spacecraft control and orbit guidance.
